At present, there's a few years for these folks to switch to IPv6 for

all need to recognize that there will be IPv6 customers out there soon,
and even if you don't plan on having those, please make your public
facing servers IPv6 reachable in the next few years.

I'm not sure there is time for v6 to be ready before companies find different ways to manage this. There are many 
things that need to happen to enable v6 and I dont think any of them are happening in a big way. Whether the large 
CDNs deploy v6, if v6 can be purchased in volume as transit are likely to be the major factors..

   Are you unable to make your public facing servers IPv6-reachable?
